Postwar Existentialism
Postwar Existentialism is a philosophical movement within existentialist thought that, in the aftermath of World War II, emphasizes human freedom, individual responsibility, and the creation of meaning in an inherently absurd and godless universe, distinguishing itself from earlier existentialist currents by its intensified focus on political engagement, historical context, and secular or atheistic foundations.
